Re: REF: amoena vs neglecta & bitone vs bicolor

Linda M.

 Neglecta- I agree I thought it was bitone also, but if I'm reading the
definition correctly that is in the AIS booklet on p. 8 it says they are
bicolor. Most Other books say bitone. I do not at the moment have time to
check other sources except what's in my house w catalogs etc. and some web
pages. Most of them so far say bitone also.

Amoena I'm pretty clear on.

Anyway, discussion was great at meeting and I think it helped the new comers
realize that there's lots to learn and it is fun. And even when we think we
know something, there's always room for further investigation even on simple
things.

Thanks for replying so quickly.

I <think> an amoena is white standards and some other color of falls,
sometimes with a white rim around the falls, sometimes not.

Back in the old days, amoenas were white over blue-purple, but now I
<think> people call white over any other color an amoena.

I always thought neglecta was bitone, and generally two shades of
blue-purple, or red, not bicolor.

I thought bicolor meant two different colors, not just two shades of one
color.

yes? I think it is a typo?
